Editorial Reviews

Option

Drum 'n' bass keeps marching forward, one small step at a time. Nostramus starts at the beginning--kinetic polyrhythms, undulating synths, and looping spoken word samples--then pushes forward, adding healthy doses of dub, dancehall, spoken word, and coolly lethargic drum programming. Based in Luton, U.K., Nostramus shows its sound system roots all over Earthlights with a low, murky pulse and steadily droning synth washes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nostramus - Earthlights, January 17, 2012
This review is from: Earthlights (Audio CD)
Nostramus' debut, EARTHLIGHTS, kicks off with the dub'n'bass of "Babel," which at one time was called jungle (you can hear more of it on "Live 'n' Direc'"). "Let's F*** It Up" is much lighter on its feet, though it's not afraid of the bass one bit, while the vocals on "Dark Jewel" go much more in the R&B direction. The title track zips into outer space momentarily, but the ethnic rumble that starts "Mystic Drum And Space" brings us back down to earth quickly. There's some atmospheric d'n'b on "Flashbacks," as well as the spry bumps of "A Force As Yet Unknown." But the real gem on this album is "The Oohs," which takes a single vocal sample and makes it almost drifts over the beats. It does take a darker turn, of course, but it retains its sense of wonder. Not bad, if slightly dated.

Nostramus puts you awake in a dream. Wondering if it could be real. There should be a place where you can rest your soul. The future is coming..
